Is current proportional to emf

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Current is directly proportional to electromotive force (EMF), which is governed by Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. In the discussed scenario, as a magnet approaches a closed loop, the increasing magnetic flux induces an EMF. Consequently, this induced EMF results in an induced current. Therefore, both current and EMF are proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction
  • Knowledge of magnetic flux concepts
  • Familiarity with the relationship between EMF and induced current
  • Basic principles of closed-loop circuits
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the mathematical formulation of Faraday's law

  • Learn about Lenz's law and its implications on induced current
  • Investigate practical applications of EMF in electrical engineering
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, electrical engineers, educators, and anyone interested in the principles of electromagnetism and circuit theory.

Faraday's law states that emf is proportional to change in flux. The scenario I am using is a magnet is moved towards a closed loop. As it moves towards the loop, flux through the loop is increased causing a emf to be induced. Does I also know that a current is induced. So does that mean current is proportional to emf and therefore is also proportional to change in flux?

Thanks

Current is proportional to EMF, which is itself proportional to rate of change of flux.
